Leadership, strategic vision, and the ability to create value in a strained market environment: the Personality of the Year (POTY) award recognizes leaders who are concretely shaping the future of the industry. This year, in the "Foodservice Manufacturers" category, three profiles stand out for their impact, their career paths, and the way they anticipate industry shifts.

Among the nominees for the 2025-2026 edition are Stefanie Denys and Evelyn Denys, leaders of Délino, a family-owned company specializing in the production of innovative sauces renowned for their quality, taste, and service. At a very young age, the two sisters took over the company following the sudden passing of their father, demonstrating resilience and a strong entrepreneurial spirit to ensure its growth and longevity.

Their success is built on a strong complementarity: Stefanie focuses on internal organization, quality, human resources, and infrastructure, while Evelyn leads commercial development, innovation, marketing, and customer relations. Together, they have accelerated Délino's growth through targeted investments, solid collaborations, and tailor-made solutions.

Guided by the SAUCES values (Satisfaction, Accountability, Uniqueness, Collaboration, Excellence & Sustainability), they champion an entrepreneurship centered alike on performance, people, and sustainability, and continue to drive Délino's development with pragmatism, energy, and a long-term vision.
